✨ BEA Middle School’s Amazing Students for Quarter 2!
Congrats to our students showing what BUC Pride is all about!
Congrats to our students showing what BUC Pride is all about!
We had a great day of partnership and collaboration at Blue Earth Area High School during our annual Health Science Mobile Lab! This event continues to strengthen partnerships with UHD, Faribault/Martin County Public Health, area community health care professionals, all working together to expose our 8th grade students to the health science career pathway. Students had the opportunity to use state-of-the-art equipment, explore careers, and practice skills needed in a variety of health science fields—an engaging, hands-on experience that highlights the power of community collaboration.
Thank you to our community partners: UHD-Adam Grant, Megan Hanson-Haase, Kelsey Hodges, Alex Wenkheimer, School Nurse, Ann Crofton, Public Health Nurses-Dani Nelson and Becca Sokoloski, and our HOSA students, Sydney, Berkley, Caitlyn and Isabella

🤩🎉Congratulations to Ms. Albright and Ms. Armstrong, winners of the K-7 Buc Pride Awards for February! Both were nominated by multiple colleagues for their efforts and leadership.
Here are a few of the comments below to highlight them.
Sara Albright:
⭐️Sara is a caring and passionate teacher at Blue Earth Area. The time and effort she puts into planning lessons for students that are meaningful and impactful is top notch. Students completed a bead activity last quarter that was time and cost impactful but that didn't stop Sara, and the students absolutely loved the project! I also see sara spending many hours on our district QComp program. Her hard work and efforts to make the program run smoothly is so appreciated by all of us at Blue Earth Area. And then there is Frankie! Sara has brought a new level of support to our district. It is so fun to see the kids (and adults) light up anytime they see her and get to have some Frankie time!
⭐️We are so lucky to have Sara a part of BEA! She is always coming up with lessons that are meaningful for the students. Most recent, the 6th grade students made bead work where they could pick the design they created with the beads. I have seem some great bead work! Sara also does a fantastic job and organizing the Q Comp program. She put in many hours to make sure we all are in the know of deadlines and new Q Comp related news. And then there is Frankie! Sara is always finding ways to give students opportunities to be with Frankie. From helping a struggling student get into the building, to visiting classrooms throughout the year. Sara is a true example of a great educator!
⭐️Sara is a great teacher and an amazing person. She goes above and beyond for her students, even the students she doesn't have in her classes. She is a great instructor, by the way she teaches, you know Sara loves her job. She is passionate about the success of her colleagues and is always looking out for everyone. I am thankful I have such an amazing mentor and friend, I know I can always rely on Sara!
Madison Armstrong:
⭐️Madison has an amazing way to connect with her students and make them feel loved and understood while still keeping a lighthearted and fun environment to be in. She deeply cares and values her students. I'm always amazed to see just how much her students respect and care about her, as she's able to click with each and every one of them so quickly.
Truly she is a gem and makes a profound impact on everyone's lives, staff included! She treats everyone with kindness and respect. She absolutely deserves to be recognized for her dedication to shaping lives.
⭐️Such a fun colleague, very go-with-the-flow. I think I'd love to be a 2nd grader in her classroom!
⭐️Madison is able to build such good relationships with her students that it's rare that I don't see them smiling. Having her class for specials is a treat and seeing them get along so well with her makes me so happy to see. She has a special way of helping her students feel seen and cared for no matter what, and her care is what makes her students shine.
Congrats to both of our very deserving winners!

Congratulations to BEA HS Business and Career and Technical Education Teacher, Holly Vogltance, who was selected to be the recipient of the 2025/2026 Quarter 2 Traveling Teacher Trophy! Each quarter, students get the opportunity to nominate a teacher who goes above and beyond to make BEA a beautiful place! 🤩
Huge thanks to Michelle Hall and her awesome, attentive Silver Sneakers crew at the Fitness Center for allowing Superintendent Fletcher a few minutes after today’s workout to share some Facilities facts!
Michelle agreed to the presentation on one condition—that the Mrs. Fletcher join the workout first (deal accepted 😅💪). It turns out the Silver Sneakers class was WAY harder than she anticipated, and there may have been a friendly comment about Michelle being a little aggressive with the weights she recommended .😆
If any other groups are willing to spare a few minutes to hear Facilities facts, Superintendent Fletcher would be happy to join your meeting too—though participation negotiations may be on the table next time!

🥶Building Update
Earlier today, our K–7 building experienced some heating issues, resulting in a portion of the morning without heat. During that time, some classrooms turned into “winter wear zones,” with students choosing to wear their coats while our maintenance team worked on the problem. Thanks to their quick work and temporary fixes, heat has been restored to the building. We will continue to monitor the system and are working to schedule permanent repairs as soon as possible. A big thank-you to our maintenance team—and to our students and staff—for their patience and flexibility.

🗳️🏛️ Learning Beyond the Classroom! 🏛️🗳️
Last week, some of our high school juniors--along with students from USC and Maple River--had an incredible experience at County Government Day, getting a behind-the-scenes look at how local government works. Students toured the courthouse, met with the judge, observed real court cases, and even sat in on a County Commissioners meeting, gaining first hand insight into local decision-making.
They also visited the law enforcement center, public works department, DMV, Drainage, 4H, Soil and Water, GIS, and Planning and Zoning, learning about the many services and career opportunities that support our community.
To top it off, students enjoyed a delicious lunch prepared by the Blue Earth American Legion Auxiliary—thank you for your hospitality and support! During lunch, students had the opportunity to hear from local probation officers and the veterans service coordinator, gaining even more perspective on community services and careers.
